where do you get realvnc from
where can i download realnvc?
is it a freeware??
I too have been trying to figure this out. What I found out is that for remote desktop, you need to have windows vista/7 Professional. Windows Vista Home will not allow you to have your computer controlled from your phone.
Yes its freeware
This is the link to the viewer and server for your PC
http://www.realvnc.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi
Now I must say im using XP, I HAVE VNC'd into vista and win7 PCs using the view on my tp2. However on one machine running Win7 I couldnt get the PC to recognize the server app. As of right now I simply use the wifirouter on my tp2, connect to its network and use the assigned IP to log in. RealVNC also allows WAP logins but I havent messed with it simply because I dont really need to lol.
In any case, here's the .cab for our phone attached.

I believe the reason for this is that the "Home" editions of Vista and 7 don't let you join a domian (that's one of the things M$ wants you to upgrade for), which as I understand it is necessary for a remote desktop connection.

You kidding me? VNC is a mess compared to Remote Desktop.
With RD, you get the closest thing possible to having a full fledged desktop computer on your phone. And it is pretty damn close.
Honestly when I'm at home and my phone is connected to the wifi network, more often than not I prefer to use it as a mere dummy terminal interface to my main computer.
Remote Desktop + any desktop web browser absolutely destroys every mobile browser ever created. Entire web pages load instantly and somehow look exactly like they would on a regular computer! Hell, you even get Flash support (a bit choppy but it's something).
And the Rhodiums screen resolution gives more than enough room for most web pages to render without the need to zoom out.
Remote Desktop even allows you to easily transfer files wirelessly between your phone and computer by mapping a drive on it that links to your phones file system.
The only thing I'd say against it is that it can be difficult to click on small targets even with the stylus.
I do sympathize with users who run a Windows version without the Remote Desktop Service built in. RDP is probably one of the very few good reasons to get Pro or above versions of Windows.

Windows Vista Home edition does not include Windows Remote Desktop therefore quite obviously you cannot connect to your laptop via your phone, gotta get professional or ultimate for that.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/...ther-computer-using-Remote-Desktop-Connection
Read "notes"
but, of course there are hacks to make it work fine lol it is included in service pack 1 but is not "labeled" try this
Steps to Add Remote Desktop to Vista Home Premium:
1. Download termsrv.zip here
2. Extract Termsrv.zip to a temp directory
3. Start “Command Prompt” in Administrator mode (right click Run As Administrator) it in in Start Menu, All Programs, Accessories, just right click on it
4. Run the corresponding batch file for your Vista edition (if you extracted it to your desktop then it will be C:\Users\[enter user name]\Desktop\Premium
5. Allow TCP Port 3389 on Windows Firewall or any other firewall product if needed
6. Done
(just tested on Windows Vista Home Premium and it worked fine)
(dont forget to reboot)

Could not find server, which is wiers cause all my pcs are interconnected, i can control any one of them from any PC
I guess a good place to start would be to try pinging the computer you want to connect to. You can do that with dotFreds Task Manager. You are trying to connect on a LAN correct?

I messed around with this earlier and couldnt get it to work. My pc is running windows 7 ultimate 64bit edition. I'm almost positive I had all the settings correct but I was trying to connect to my pc which was connected wirelessly to the router. Would this not work? If not how would one go abouts doing this without a lan connection? I'd love to get this baby working and am willing to be a guinea pig so that hopefully we can get a procedure together for all others
after trying remote desktop mobile to make it work i just give up!!!
try this go to www.logmein.com make a free account download logmein software to you laptop install the free softwares !
install cab to tp2
use the two files below.
1. Install XDA first, reboot,
2. install IEtoggle, open IEtoggle, switch IE to PIE,
3.start up IE and sign into logmein.
This worked for me. the only thing is not working is the keyboard
keyboard problems go here !! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444641 it might work !

I routinely use the RDP client on my phone to connect to my desktop computer over wifi LAN. Although my computer is hardwired to the network.
Are you able to remote desktop to your pc with another computer?
Did you select the "Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop" option in the System Properties:Remote dialog?
Could there be some 3rd party firewall software you are running that might be blocking the RDP port?
Also, I've found that when having network issues especially involving wifi, often reseting your router to its default settings, and if necessary upgrading the firmware can help.

Hi,
I was just wondering if its possible to 'link' the XDA Exec with multiple Laptops so that the laptops all show the XDA's display? Lets assume all Laptops have wi-fi, bluetooth and run Windows XP.
Purposes may be to share a PP presentation, show a software demo etc. (I need to give a tutorial and demo in a room with no projector ).
I was curious if anyone has had any experiance with this? Any advice regarding the best setup (or software) would be great. Cheers.
Nobody any ideas whatsoever?
You could install windows media encoder on one of the laptops, and a remote control app. Then run the remote control app so you can see your phone's screen. Once that's working you can run windows media encoder in screen caputre mode, all the other laptops will be able to connect it it then.

You can play with Microsoft's "ActiveSync Remote Display". The tool allows you to work with your PPC remotely from your laptop/PC using ActiveSync connection. But you will need to install ActiveSync and this tool to every laptop
If it is a matter of presentation, why don't you copy your presentation to local server's shared folder and ask people to open the file from this folder and listen to your instructions, like Going to next slide... At least there won't be any hassle with intervention to participants' laptops and personal space ))
ps: if you do possess a PC you can run something like MS Netmeeting and establish AS connection with your PDA through AS Remote Display at your PC. Share AS Remote Display application and ask people to connect to your PC's NetMeeting or any other remote conference software
Let us know on your results
Cheers

Thats my last resort - I hate doing presentations like this especially when we have the technology to do something 'fancy' :lol:

I just had a look at AS Remote Display and it seemed this would do the trick - However, it does not work with Windows Mobile 5.0.
Does anyone know of a release of AS Remote Display for Windows Mobile 5? I had a look around but there does not seem to be much on offer which is compliant with 5.0.
Right, another problem.
I just installed an app called : Laplink Controller thinking as it offered the functionality I was looking for.
After a supposidly successful install I tried to run it - no joy. It reccommended I uninstall and re-install the software, so I did.
When re-installing I got a message saying:
Cannot load resouce library:
\Windows\MWRes???412L.dll
It now comes up everytime I do a soft reset. Anybody seen this error?
Rather than hooking up my G1 via USB, is it possible to access the SD card via WiFi from a PC or Mac?

I believe installing a FTP server app on your phone can solve this. I have used SwiFTP from Market and it works like a charm.
Regards,
From_Vanov
There is a market app called aFile (used to be Discover) that works for this very well.

hmmm...
I use the app on a daily basis and it has never once crashed or not worked. Guess I'm just lucky.
aFile/Discover doesn't work all that well anymore. It --used-- to work great, but the developer hasn't seemed to keep up with the OS changes. Combine the developers update plus the "Cupcake" releases, you get problems connecting.
So, here's a couple of suggestions. All of these connect over WiFi.
Probably the easiest is Estrongs File Explorer. It will allow you to connect to Windows shares (Samba shares) from your phone and transfer files in either direction.
Another very simple solution is to run SwiFTP on your phone. It's a simple FTP server for your phone. Then you can use Filezilla (or any FTP program on your computer) to connect to your phone via FTP and transfer files back and forth. Make sure you keep the port as 2121, otherwise it won't work.
My personal favorite is a bit different. I set up a Filezilla server on my home network. It's very simple to set up. Then use AndFTP on your phone to connect to the FTP server you are running on your computer. You can take it one step further and have it installed on your home network. Go to dynsys.org and register there. Follow the instructions (fairly simple). This will give you the added benefit of being able to access your files anywhere in the world as long as the Filezilla server is running on your computer/network and your computer hasn't gone into sleep/hibernate AND you have your router configured correctly.
If you need help with any of this, please contact me. This is a feature that I've desperately needed, and I've looked at many different solutions and can probably help you make the right decision and get it working properly.
An another good FTP client for Windows is Total Commander. In the (unlikely ) case you are not using it already, it is a very good file manager. I almost cannot live without it
Thanks blueheeler for the info.

It may have something to do with the combination of things.
I know "Discover" worked for me, then aFile came out, and it doesn't.
Here's what I'm using:
Vista x64 Ultimate (also tried on Win 7 RC x64)
Belkin router
JF1.51 (also tried with various Dude versions)
Broadcom 4322AG WiFi driver
I did recently switch from 32 bit Windows to 64 bit if that makes a difference.
Tried with:
a) with Vista firewall
b) Vista's firewall disabled + phone in DMZ
c) Vista's firewall disabled + laptop in DMZ
d) Vista firewall off + router firewall off
Hi i am trying to configure remote desktop app on my phone but i cant figure out. If someone could help me figure it out and tell me what i need to do id really appreciate it

I am on the main screen where it asks for the IP address etc. What do i have to put in to get it to work? I cant figure it out. Driving me mad lol
Remote desktop reply
You need your PC connected to Wi-Fi. Turn on Wi-Fi on your HTC TP2 and get connected to your LAN. Get your PC's name. You can find your PC name by right clicking My Computer icon. Also get your PC logon password. Then run the remote desktop app on your HTC TP2 and just fill in the blanks. Of course your PC must be up and running.
Ah i thought it had to be the wireless code!! Thanks, but its still not working. I have windows 7 Home premium? Do i need to do anything on my computer?
your ip is likely to be 192.168.0.3 then its your login name and pass easy, problem is you cant connect over the internet only on your own home wifi, so waste of time really.... getting setup for over internet ive only been able to manage it by being hardlined to router and running static ip again pain in the butt, rdmplus worth every penny for me 20 min setup full screen display file up and down dead easy
Windows Home wont work as far as i am aware. It doesn't have the needed features. Though search for Allow remote access to this computer on the start bar to make sure.
Ok progress.. it not trys to connect but says:
The remote computer is not set up for this
Reached maximum number of connections.
I read i might need to configure my computers, its windows 7 home premium

Windows 7 Home Premium DOES NOT have the remote desktop host.
You cannot remote desktop to Windows 7 Home, premium or otherwise.

Theres definitely no way to do it then? No patch of hack that can be done?
You need Windows 7 Professional to be able to Remote Desktop in. Home editions have never had the ability to RDP in, though IIRC they can RDP out.

I wouldn't get to excited, RDP is crap. Use VNC if you want to access the GUI on your PC, or if you just want to access the files on your desktop PC just use a proprietary system such as Logmein.
I have RDP and yeah its crap, VNC is better, but i need to hide the listening server and cant.

I don't know if .NET VNC Viewer works on the HD2, but it's open source. Hasn't been updated for a couple of years though.
For a paid version Mocha VNC is a very good client and works on the HD2.
There are several free VNC server apps for the PC, I prefer [email protected] myself.
Ahh its all driving me mental, I tried some of them but it still wouldnt work! I give up.
Thanks for all the help tho
Hello
I am able to connect to my PC via the htc remote desktop application.
How do I stop it logging out the current user? This happens even when logging on with the same account.
I am trying to use my phone as a PC mouse to open file videos etc, so need to see the desktop at the same time on my phone.
Does anyone have a better way of doing this. I have tried logmein but this website does not allow me to select anything using the touch screen, although I can view the desktop fine.
Thanks
It's not possible to see on both with remote desktop.
You should look into VNC. Or if you don't need to have the screen on the phone but just mouse/keyboard controls there's G-Remote.
You could also try logmein.com - it is great!
ADC
I use Mocha VNC.
You can try the following website, this shows how to allow concurrent remote desktop sessions, it is geared towards windows 7 but its a start...

Also, that method doesn't let you see the same desktop on the phone as on the pc, , , both are logged on, yes, and (example) files saved to the desktop will both be seen, however one wouldn't see the same windows media player as the other, and indeed you would have trouble with both logins running (some of) the same program together.
I know this because i have both vista and win7 installs that have had concurrent logins enabled, which I didfor exactly the same reason as OP, heh, it didn't work. Hah.

Hi all, first-time poster here, although long-time admirer of the excellent work that goes on here.
This thread has compelled me to post as a winmo version of this "Logitech Touch Mouse" app would be a really handy to control my media pc at home, as well as the Skype conferencing machine at work in place of the bulky and ugly wireless keyboard we currently use.
